Kitty's Lifestyle

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing great. Sorry for a delayed update. Clearly I am struggling to update Kiara's post as we are planning to travel this weekend.

Yay finally we are going for a trip to India this weekend.

Kiara will finally meet her Great Grandparents & Grand Parents (Jeet's Mom & Dad). We are way too excited for this trip. But at the same time we are a bit tensed about our 20 hours flight journey with this little one. We will be back in a month. I will keep updating about our travel in my snapchat, Instagram Story & Facebook Story.

Kiara Bear - 4 Months:

This little one is four months old already. We had Kiara's 4th month appointment two days back and she is weighing around 12lbs, 6oz. It seems she is gaining enough and at the same time she is getting taller too. Kiara just went through her first cold, so that led to stuffy nose and the poor kid was trying to breath through her mouth. Thanks to the saline spray, her stuffy nose was cleared in couple of minutes and she could sleep through out the night.

By the way our pediatric suggested to start solids as she is way too interested and excited to watch us while we eat or drink. So, I might start giving her some solids once we reach India. Until then I started giving her apple slices to suck.

She started rolling over both the ways. She even started sleeping on her tummy. That scares me sometimes, whether she gets to breath normally. But the doc said its all normal, so hopefully that should work as she rolls back and forth when ever she is not comfortable.

Monthly Update :

Weight: 12lbs 6oz

Diaper Size: 2

Clothing Size: Some 3 months but mostly 3-6 months

Health: She is totally fine. Her spit ups stopped and she nurses for almost 1 hour now.

Sleep: She sleeps through out the night and wakes up only if she needs milk. She even naps well throughout the day.

Diet: She nurses 6-9 times a day for every 3 hours.

Baby Gear Love: She loves her Sophie The Giraffe teether.

Loves: She loves to smile all the time. She wants to be carried all the time. Staring, chewing and sucking her fingers and fist, being fed, tummy time and playing with daddy.

Dislikes: To play by herself, putting her to sleep, being cold and wet diapers.

Milestones: Laughing, rolling back and forth and shaking hands.

Looking Forward To: One of our longest trips, when she starts sitting on her own and when she starts having her solids in couple of weeks.

Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great day! Well, I saw these leggings by Spanx a couple of times posted by other bloggers and instagrammers, but was wondering why would anyone pay $98 for a velvet leggings. I was eyeing on it since few months and I got the exact same pair of Spanx leggings in my January Stitch Fix Subscription Box. I planned to keep it as some things are just worth the money.I love how they feel so soft, comfortable and the best part is you can pair it up with flannels and sweaters in fall, winter and spring.

When it comes to the fitting part they are little tight as they are known for shape wear. It's not only comfortable but also holds its shape perfectly. It has an incredible stretch that fits perfectly my waist and legs.

When coming to this entire outfit I pared this Ranch Velvet Leggings from SPAX with Lydia Frayed Hem Peplum Top from BELLA DAHL. To complete the look I wore these Ankle boots from DSW.

Kiara Bear turned 3 months last week. She is finally easier to manage now. Kiara is super vocal, always smiling and sort of likes doing her tummy time. She tires to roll over now-a-days.

Finally after her 2 months checkup she weighs 10 lbs. She gets good sleep through day and night. She goes to bed around 10pm and wakes up around 3:30 or 4 for nursing, then goes back to sleep until 8am. I try to wrap up my work by 10pm at the most.

Kiara is still sleeping in her dock-a-tot or co sleeping with me at nights. So We didn't decide to transition Kiara to her crib yet. I am planning to shift her to crib in couple of weeks after her doctors appointment this January 26.

Monthly Update:

Weight: At her two months update she was 10 lbs. She weighs 11 lbs as of yesterday.

Diaper Size: 1

Clothing Size: Mostly 3 months

Health: Very active and spits up a little during the day.

Sleep: She does great with her sleep schedule. Takes long naps during the day and sleeps for long stretch at nights.

Diet: She nurses 6-7 times usually every 3-4 hours.

Baby Gear Love: She loves her build a bear teddy and tries to reach for it all the time.

Loves: When you talk to her, smiling, just to be held, making silly faces, cooing loudly, responding when you give her a smile.

Looking Forward To: Her laugh and spring time so that she can travel without bulky coats and jackets.

Things We Want To Remember: The way she smiles when she wakes up. The way she looks at the snapchat filters. The serious looks while I snap or make videos. The way she hugs her dad. Television and movie time with grandpa. Held by her grandma all the time.

Are you guys still in the pre winter fashion craze? Poncho Sweaters are popular this season with cozier and looser fit which goes perfectly with anything. I don't think there is more comfortable piece of clothing in my wardrobe for this winter than ponchos. It can be worn every way possible.

Layering Up :

I am a dress person and I love wearing them throughout the year... So, I wore this Rebecca Minkoff Serina Wool Turtleneck Poncho Sweater over a dress to transition my favorite warm-weather dress from Forever 21 into the cooler months. I paired this outfit with ankle booties from Steve Madden for more wintery look.

For more casual outfit, you can try t-shirt dresses and skater dresses underneath your poncho. You can also try the poncho over a button up shirt and a pencil skirt for work.

Balancing Up :

I just love to balance out my loose turtle neck poncho from Charlotte Russe over the long sleeve heat-tech tee from Uniqlo and with a pair of Ranch Velvet Leggings from Spanx. I finished this outfit with tall boots from Kenneth Cole.

For more casual outfit make sure to pair the poncho with slim bottoms like skinny pants or even a skinny denim would look great.

How do you guys wear your ponchos? Let me know I would love to try it 😊💖

So, let me start with how I found out about these Modern Piggy Bows. When I found out that I was pregnant with Kiara I was dreaming about styling her hair with headbands and bows. I always wanted a girl and when I found out through gender reveal while I was in my 5th month of pregnancy I couldn't wait to do all things girly with her. I bought some other headbands from baby companies while I was pregnant. They look really cute but they never fit the new born head as they are very tiny. Some are good fit but they are way too tight for the new born or infant head.

I always used to see other mommy bloggers getting their baby girls dress up with cute bow headbands. I got to know about Modern Piggy Bows from Instagram bloggers so, I wanted to try them.

I just love Modern Piggy bows! Kiara has many bows and headbands but most of them are from Modern Piggy and I have ordered some more this week. I love their nylon headbands as they are perfect fit for new borns and infants. The best part is, it doesn't bother her and she doesn't pull them off and stays on her head longer than other headbands.

My favorites are the glitter bows which I bought for Christmas. I have some neutrals, few prints, velvet oversized and felt bow headbands that I love just as much I love the glitter ones. I am so glad that I found Modern Piggy and collaborated with them.

Happy New Year everyone 😀 I hope you had a good one. I am excited for my first post of 2018 by Unboxing my FabFitFun Winter Box.
